Look, I'm unstop a bow. Get your defense, nothing but and I's
a cup to run it back switching Doug calling not the bow, shoving up
them. Hell, Mary's to the game over with the show. Stop a
soul? How you gotta blow on it? I said, I'll huff and
I'll puffed, and I'll pass to my left while I'm looking to my right.
Hit them right in the chest to be looking. Look, everybody,
what's going on? Smashing a Titan fan here? This is the Titans Fan
Battle podcast. We are part of the Fan Sports Network, and today I'd
like to introduce my co host here, Fine Douglas Man. Awful and awful
and hate it never duplicated. You're feeling me, that's right. And we
got a special guest on tonight. Go ahead and introduce yourself. Brother.
Hey, everybody, I'm scooped. Tighten up, let's go fight. No
man, welcome school to the show MANE. Yeah, I appreciate your harving.
Ain't no problem, scooped man. Honestly, I looked. I looked
this dude up on face book. I find her, I mean on Twitter.
I found him on Twitter, and uh we started following each other,
and uh he posted up that he wanted to do a fantasy league and he
had three spots open, and I was like, oh, oh, I've
been looking for a good fantasy league. I want one. So I popped
that spot and I was like, yeah, I want that. We got
two spots left, Yes, we do. There's still two spots left if
anybody's interested, that's right. Yeah. And then when I when I looked
this dude up, man to be honest, just to you know, stop
man if I'm wrong here scoop. But when I looked this dude up,
I was like, uh man, uh, this dude looks like a super
fan. I mean, like, you know, he he going for it
man. I mean, look, look, he had this whole outfit going
on. And then he tells me he updated his outfit and made it even
better this year, and it does. It looks amazing. Man, you
look awesome. So that's why I had to put my head game gear on
to get I had to get like game ready, just like I would if
I was going to watch the Titans game. Yeah. And uh so yeah,
so we're here and uh, main topic tonight defense defense? How are
we gonna how are we gonna make what we're gonna look like on defense this
year. So it's pretty easy. It's always everything right off the bat.
We're healthy, we could easily be a top fifteen, top twenty defense.
You know, if if we stay healthy. That's always the problem. Though,
we've had an injury bug and it's for the for the last two years.
For the last two years, the injury bug has been on our ass.
But it's time for us to shake that. It's time for us.
I think it's time for the injury bug to fly. It's on this ass
on up out of Nasville. Man, So yeah, that's exactly last three
ye yes, Scoop's got going on. Yeah, that was That's what That's
what I was so honestly, to be honest, when when I thought about
the show, I was like, man, I'm not gonna have a lot
to talk about because, to be honest, our defense wasn't that terrible last
year When you think about it, I mean, seventeen and a half points
a game. You know, that's that's not that bad. It's one of
the better defenses if you look at it from that one stat perspective. Yeah.
But other than that, man, yeah, we came you know,
he uh as a rookie. He came in there and did his thing.
You know, he played every game. He played well. He made mistakes,
but rookies do. But he though he made a big spot for that
defense. And I think he's gonna be even better this year. So it's
great tag, great tackler, A little small body. That's the only problem
with McCary is he's a little small body, but he's quick. He makes
up for it with the lead. He's got really good reach. Um,
I mean he is, he is a baller. I'm not taking anything away
from McCreary, um, but him and uh Christian Fulton both score like I
think a sixty four and a sixty two respectively. A pff. Sean Murphy
Bunting just for just for reference scores like a seventy six or seventy eight.
So, speaking of Sean Murphy bunting a school, how do you feel about
I knew pickups that we got on defense. We're gonna start off with art.
Oh oh oh oh h yeah yeah, sir, So we we got
excited about it. We got art, we got we picked up Art and
Key from the Jaguars. We got a ziz Al Shayer from the forty nine
ers and we got Sean Murphy bunting from Tampa Bay Is. Those was three
big pickups for the on free agency. How you feeling? How you feeling?
How you feel about those three pickups and how would they help maximize our
defense? School? Man, you got me having goose bumps right now.
Man, it's gonna be the defense is gonna be fired this year, you
know. I mean Simmons getting paid, that's just gonna make him play even
harder. Hopefully Landry will be better, you know, because he's huge.
Twelve sacks, we can't. We gotta have that back, Hue. I
want to see I want to see Weaver do something. He'll play in the
role. Maybe two picks. You know, I'm ready for the defense.
I'm excited. What about What about you? Max? How are you feeling?
Well? I tell you what, man, everything everything on the defensive
side. As long as our starters are on the field, we are fire.
Yeah, Yeah, we're absolute fire. Yeah. If anything happens to
any one of our starters, we are in trouble. Now. We're not
talking about interior defensive line now that we're a little deep right there. But
other than that, man outside linebacker, we got a little bit we can
play with, but not I mean not a lot, because they're really they're
really moving weaver more of to the to the to the line tight you know,
line type guy that can back up and also do that OLB kind of
rush guy or you know, so that kind of gets him away more away
from linebacker spot, more towards line. And I don't know, man,
I'm just I'm worried. I look at it and I'm worried. Although I
will say this now, surprising stats to me that really stuck out was Money
Rice. Man. A lot of people give Money Rice crap. And he
was the four tackler, fourth best tackler on the team last year. And
and I mean when he was on the field, he was fired. Dude.
He I think we have like three ten tackle games last year, Monty
Rice, Dude, shout out man, Georgia Man, Yeah, you know,
I love our fronts. The opportunity to be pretty good this year.
Yeah, I personal with hell seven can be nasty. Oh yeah, that's
that's what I'm saying. As long as long as everybody stays on the field
will be all right. Now we've been we've been the number one Russian defense
for last two years in a row, so I pretty much expect that again.
And yeah, I mean yeah, me personally, I feel like we
got one of the best front sevens in the league. Like when you're talking
about Jeffery Simmons, we got de Nico Autry and you know whoever we were
rotating in on that on that uh the nose tackle position, even if it's
na Kwan Jones or whoever we're throwing in at that moment, start baby,
yeah yeah, and yeah, look at history Titans history, the front seven
has always been nasty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know,
like like school mentioned, we need Harold Landry to come back and return
to his form twelve sacks before he took it, he got injured, and
man if Jeff, big Jeff, and then hey, Art and kid is
gonna be a big pick up. I think he's gonna be a big upgrade
over Bud Duprix. So he's he's course for sure yet and then as he
shout here, I love everything I'm hearing about that guy. You know,
he's fast, he's all around the ball. He's gonna take that David Long
position where he will kind of be the you know, the mic up linebacker.
In the middle of the field. And I'm loving what I'm hearing about
that guy. So our front seven would definitely be the strongest part of our
defense, maybe the whole team. It might be our solid group of guys
that we got. See. Our only thing I'm worried about is our secondary.
Of course. I mean, we always have this thing where we have
problems with covering. Why would out covering tight ends? Glad you brought that
up. Yeah, glad you brought that up, man. And the reason
is is because I think our secondary is gonna be insanely improved this year.
Let me tell you. Why tell me? Because we get those twelve sacks
out of Harold Landry, we get double digit sacks season. We'll say,
ten eleven sacks out of Jeffrey Simmons, then we get and then we get
another ten twelve sacks out of Arden Key and Rashad Weaver, and then we
have everybody gotten each other on the back. It's gonna be good. I
mean, if you got quarterbacks running for the life, I mean, the
last time they got to throw that ball, I mean, it takes pat
off the corners, Man Brook. You look at last season, man,
and you look at last season. Man, everybody, it was like a
rushing opponents had I'm throwing just some stats at you here. Opponents had nine
rushing touchdowns against US. Nine, yes, sir, at twenty nine passing
touchdowns against US. Right, you know what that tells me, Hey,
they can't run the ball period and can get weakness is right there. Yeah,
we don't want you. If we don't want you to get one yard,
you're not even gonna get a yard. And that's what that means that
that's impressive right there, sir. But the twenty nine pass touching now,
and now, that shows a lot of use back. You know, there's
a lot of use there. What you look at our sacks last year,
we were at like forty seven i think forty seven sacks for a season,
the whole season. Man, we have forty sacks at a half the season
last or in twenty twenty one. Yea, it's sick, dude. I
mean, if you look at the numbers, the difference of the past touchdowns
in twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two and the sacks in twenty twenty one
to twenty twenty two, they collate, man, And when you put pressure
on the quarterback. He ain't got enough time. It takes heat off your
corners. Your corners can produce. They end up throwing stupid ass balls.
Thank you, Josh Allen. Every time you do that, I love you
know, and and would take them from me. You know, mayor Murphresborough
or somebody gonna step up there and just snatch that ball out of the air.
Somebody don't get it. And there's another thing. I wanted to bring
up some names real quick. Uh, some people out there that I think
the Titans actually should look at. There was an article I read about Josh
klu I think it was Titan size if if I'm if I'm getting that wrong,
I'm sorry giving the wrong person credit. But I believe that's who it
was, and I agree, but I disagree. I think Josh Keleue would
be a good pickup at this point because we could use safety d DDV defensive
back help however you want to say it. But the better pickup for me
is Dame Crookshank. Oh, he's still out there right now. He's a
free agent. And I thought he was great as a tight end killer.
H you know, he had his best year as a Titan with us at
his last year, you know, right before he tried to ditches for the
Bears and and sucked all year and couldn't stay on. But that's what happens
when you leave the Titans, guys, um anyway, is it nobody else
though, I'm thinking, I'm thinking he should be a bad I mean,
there there are some names, but I mean last in Miami before he got
hurt. Yeah, exactly what happens, y'all. That's what when you break
out as the Titan, if you break out your your last season as a
it is historically known that if you leave the Titan, you want to get
like hurt. Yeah, you're gonna have a ship season, or you're gonna
get hurt, or you're gonna do something really stupid, or I mean,
something always happens. It's always crazy how many times that Yeah, you know,
maybe that's the way it works. But I'm glad that we don't really
have to worry about that too much right now with our current GM. I
feel like he's gonna he's gonna reward the players that need to be rewarded.
I honestly think a lot of people are worried about Kevin Byrd, and I
honestly think Kevin Byrd is probably gonna retire a Titan. I believe that,
in my heart of hearts, I believe that he will retire a Titan.
He's gonna do everything he can to retire as a Titan. That's for sure.
He deserved it. We deserve. We deserve to have our players retires
tight. You know, it's too many times. Well, you know,
we don't pay our players in the last couple of years of their career and
they go off somewhere else. We gotta put the end of that. Man,
we need some players who are gonna we drafted, They're gonna play their
whole career in Nashville, and they're gonna retire in Nashville. So we gotta,
you know, keep that going. And uh and you know so I
would definitely love to see Kevin Byer retire as a Titan. And I also
want to see Kevin Byer have a breakout another one of those thirteen fourteen reception
of seasons this year, return to his pro form, return to the Pro
Bowl, because man, hey, I love Kevin Byers. Definitely one of
my favorite Titans on all he is one of my favorites. Two if he
can do his job and doesn't have to worry about everybody else's job. He's
been yeah job. And see that goes to our corners. If our corners
can just hold their own to where Kevin Byer can just play ballhawk in the
middle of the field, he'll have a breakout year. But it's twenty times
lately while it's been too many times lately, while our corners have been getting
burnt, and he's been having to make up for their lack of coverage,
and it's been making him look bad because you know, he's trying to make
up and sometimes these receivers are too damn fast and it just make him by
look like he just slow and went in in position the whole time, when
the whole when, the whole time, he was trying to help the corner.
So corner, it's gotta play good. That's why. That's why I
love the Sean Murphy. But to pick up I want Roger McCreary to keep
improving. And I hate to keep saying this, Max, but I won't
fucking Kayla Farley to get on the field and show us something. Man,
show us something Farley Taylor party. All right, Look, I gotta throw
some stats out, Carl. Look, you know what I would love to
be wrong on that? I would I love it. My wife. My
wife always says that now I got that from her. I got I stole
that saying from her. But I love being wrong what I'm wrong about shit
like that like that. I don't feel like you might have an old man.
I'm forty five. He's probably gonna back like me, now, you
know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, out there, Adam. We'll
get to the questions here in just a second. Man, let me run
down these stats real quick. Number one, run defense already said that seventy
seven yards average a game, Sir, seventy seven yards average a game,
seventeen and a half points a game. That is amazing defense right there.
If we can do that and boost her offense, then we're gonna win gats
and put the asters by that. That's unhealthy. To imagine us completely healthymagin
was completely healthy without all. Right, now, then let's let's let's dig
into the other stats. Other stats. Twenty eight in the league in passing
defense two hundred and forty five yards a game average. That's rough, that's
not good. Twentieth in the past rush last year twenty and I you know,
I blame a lot of that old Landry being injured, sent Us being
hurt. Not you know, them two guys right there, when they're healthy,
it's it's it's a different defense. Yeah, and I think we're gonna
have a whole different defense that year. I mean, we were relying on
bud Dupris. I would never like that pick. From the moment they did
it. It was just like the Jadevion clowney. I knew it was gonna
be just like the Jada and people bash on Jadavion clinny, but he was
actually better than bud Dupris. I believe in in my I mean, I
mean not not not as a Titan. I wouldn't say Jada Entrey. We
still you know he's gonna have a big season two. You know that's any
Autrey is uh an X waiting. I'm waiting for sepping because Autrey is thirty
six years old. All right, I'm thirty nine. I know what I
mean. He gets pressure because I man, even though it's I guess even
huge. You know, it's hard, dude, it's hard to get out
there. Age actually gets a lot, actually gets a lot of pressure man,
I think he can get five or six AX this year. He might
even go seven. Yeah, I agree. I think I think he's I
think he's over five. I'll take you on over five for sure. I'll
take you. I would. This is the worst stat to me, thirty
one first downs on penalty by the defense. Thirty one. I do you
know, I don't know. He hated You know what I say to that
as a coach. As a coach, I would be pissed. I would
be completely pissed playing for a league that allows PI calls on those junk ass
under thrown balls. But I mean that crap. I mean until they stop
that or figure out a way to stop that, that's gotta be like a
PI on the offense and give the give the defense fifteen yards back, you
know, something like that. And that's what and that's and that's what happened
on a lot of those players, like our posing quarterbacks had had gotten you
know the word that out of corners just suck at getting their head turned around.
So if they get in trouble, hey sending it wide out on the
go route and throw that mug up and they're most likely going to get a
PI. Because our corner is not gonna get his head around and they're gonna
we're gonna rob them for the past interference. Yeah, A scoop says,
no school basses at a coaching thing. It absolutely is. We have to
teach our corners, you know, technique, you gotta get your head turned
around and look at the ball. Like if you don't look at the ball,
they're gonna get you every time. So that goes into coaching. You
know, we brought uh uh and I want I want to say Brandon Uh.
Well, either way, we got a new defensive back coach and uh,
I think he's he's gonna get our cornerbacks, right. I'm I'm I'm
loving what I'm hearing about the cornerbacks coach and how the technique he's teaching them.
So you know, I mean, I'm feeling good about that. I
think the days of the quarterback just throwing it up in the air and praying
then we get a PI and and they we actually get the PI those days
over. So yeah, I'm excited too because you know last season they gave
a season ticket holders the PIP passes the training camp and we got to see
some you know, so I'm hoping they do that again this year. I'm
ready to see some of some of the rookies, some of the new coaches.
I'm opening they opened it up to the public. Yeah, oh they
do sometimes. But I remember back in the day before COVID when I could
just come up there, like, you know, I'd come up there at
least hang out a three different days I think, or four different days or
something like that. You could come just and hang out, watch the practice,
hang out all the days, you know. Yeah, some autographs and
everything, you know, Yeah, talk to the players after the practice was
out. It was cool, man, it was so cool. It's just
like Titan Caravan. I'm trying to get that back to man. I I've
been you know. I actually put up a petition for that, but it
didn't go there. But let me get back on trag here. We got
fourteen turnovers, which was pretty average with the league. Uh, but some
some other parts that I don't like. In the red zone scoring that is
way way way down from twenty twenty one. Twenty twenty one, we were
number one of the league defense and red zones that like seventeen percent or something
like that. It was ridiculous. Teams could not score on us once they
got into Ben don't break at working anymore. So the worst defense, the
worst. One of the worst stats, I keep saying the worst stat,
but the one of the worst stats to me again is zero return touchdowns zero
not not one return man? Come on, what happened to the return game,
y'all? NFL two of my return game. I hated that. That
really sucks because with our struggles that our offense had, we could have used
now, we could have used some return touchdowns to help these guys out some
guys some games, but we just some gays. We just couldn't move the
ball. I had a return touchdown to spark the offense. You never know,
so we gotta get that going. Hadn't catch the ball. We had
a lot of trouble with him dropping it. You know that same man,
I see him just catching the ball. Yeah, I don't really care.
I loved it. When Grapes put what to the woods back there, he
was like, I don't get my number one receivers going back there right now.
I don't care. No, I was happy. Damn what was his
name? What was the wide out we had back there? Until he got
her? He was doing a pretty good job, Pip No, no,
no, I like Phillips. H No, it was at the end of
the he did good until he started fumbling. But yeah, then he started
dropping. Yeah. At the end of the season. We had had a
wide out y'all. His I forgot his names, like eighty four six.
He had a hurt shoulder, right, yeah, Phillips, yeah, Phillips.
Yeah in the second game. That's that's why he fumbled. You watched
the team. He does like that, Like literally, his arm doesn't even
go up with the arm we put on that one. He put on that
weight and muscle. Man, he gonna have a breakout, you know.
I you know, I love some Kyle Phillips. I want really, really,
really really man. I know, dude, thank you, thank you
you feeling me, dude. I oh man, they got me so mad
when they crap bullcrap. Man. Look, I'll tell you another thing real
quick, just to get off on some stupid tangents. I don't know if
y'all watch the XFL, but I obviously I am a football fan. I
don't care if you're watching peewee football, if you're watching UFL, CFL,
USFL, XFL. I watched it all Arena Football League. I watched everything
football, don't care, okay, And the XFL has the best return rules
in the game. They are actually doing safety for the player's sake, not
to take away from the game. They didn't take anything away from the return
game and still made it a lot safer for the players. And that should
be an example. That's what the xf That's why the XFL and the NFL
are tied together, guys. It's so that when the XFL succeeds at something
that the NFL can incorporate it into their game without any kind of copyright issues
or anything like that. That's the whole reason there are minor league. So
listen to me, NFL Roger Goodell, all you owners out there aming Adams
Strump, please listen to me. Listen Game of Favor and watch the XFL.
Go watch it. Go watch some highlights of the xf FELL return.
Watch that read the rules. Come back to me. Tell me if I
ain't right, man. Yeah, But how would you feel, though,
if you came to work the next day and they told you you lost sixty
million dollars? Upset? You know? That's that's you. I don't know.
It depends on how much money I got, right, Yeah, I
know, I'm on a couple of billions. Like it's like a damn that
sucks, right, Yeah, it's like, damn that sucks. Needed that,
I guess, but I guess that's all right? Yeah, all right,
so all right, so let's all right. Now let's get into my
favorite segment of the show, guys, the fans segment. That's why we
brought you on here, Scoop. We are for the fans. We say
that we want the fans to be interactive. So we got all the questions.
So I got some questions from Friday show that I didn't get to with
Cortland because we were having a great time. If y'all miss that show,
go back and watch it, start about thirty minutes in and just keep watching
because it goes for an hour and fifty minutes. It's ridiculous that a great
show. Great content in there, some great content, or just watch some
of the shorts that I've been putting again, great content. Frankie Hammond,
we had a question from him a couple of weeks ago, but he's got
another great one here. He says, is Stonehouse the best punter in the
NFL? Yes, I'm gonna go ahead, and I was gonna say,
all right, I'm ahead and let you guys answer that. Yes, yes,
fact, yes, yes, Frankie, he has a big leg.
Do you know how to corner kick that ball? He's he broke the record
year rookie season. Yeah, exactly, you're half right, you're half right.
He got a leg like a cannon. Man. That dude he got
doesn't need to work on the aim a little bit. Yeah, he doesn't
work and he needs to work on the touch a little bit because there was
a time he sent that thing like through the uprights and it was like,
broy that hard. You know what I mean, I'm gonna I'm gonna tell
you. I'm gonna tell you the good thing. Though he's a fucking rookie.
He got plenty of years to work on. Hey yeah, no,
it can over during the NFL. Now, I'll say that top five apps
are freaking look. Top three, yeah, maybe top yeah, maybe maybe
top two. But I don't know, man, I don't know. There's
some good punters out there. Man, I know, I know y'all think
of dumb because let's answer that question after this season. There, you know
that's a that's a good I like that, Scoop, I like that.
All right, we got what do you do this season? Chuck sheets Man,
he hit me with all kinds of crazy questions. There's a couple of
them that are that are a little little little little nuttie um. First one,
so, who's who's the Titans gonna play in the super Bowl this year?
Who want the Super Bowl? Man? You can play the Jet Oh
who were playing and who were playing in the Super Bowl? Who's going to
the super Bowl in the NFC is basically what he's asking. The Titans are
going to play the Philadelphia Eagles and the boom. That's what we're gonna be.
We're gonna be. We're gonna be a J. Brown and we're gonna
wish him. We're gonna make him wish he would have stayed in Tennessee.
We're gonna beat We're gonna beat Jalen Hurts. We're gonna beat the tightens over
Eagles in the Super Bowl. Yes, sir, Yes, sir. Hey
J. Brown, you're going down a J You're going down. J.
Brown. You're going down, all right. And the next one will will
Derrick Henry b League in VP. No, No, he won't be League
MVP, but he he will lead the league in Russian. He will league
in Russian and he will return to MVP form, but he probably won't win
MVP Quarterback Trophy. Yeah, exactly. It's probably gonna go to uh Aaron
Rodgers because I think he's got the ball with the Jets. Or it might
go to Patrick Mahomes or Jack I might finally get in one. I don't
know, will see, right, Jay Hurts gonna go to one of the
one of the quarterbacks that goes to the super Bowl. That's usually the way
it works. Um, that's I mean, just just being just being real,
that's usually how it works. Um, is a field goal kicking game
still a concern? That's a fat Yeah? Definitely. Yeah. And my
co host don't even agree as to which kicker is better. How do you
know? I mean, how do you think the Titans coaches feel? They're
guys and they're going, all right, we got a bag of manure and
we got a bag of I mean, I don't even know their names,
that's how bad it is. I can tell you. I can tell you
it's Galuba exactly. I mean that's what we got at the moment. Yeah,
I'm rooting for Wolf. I believe my boy's rooting for Shoot. Acc
Ye, she got hurt last year, right, Shot that got hurt last
year. Yeah. Yeah, I'd like to see him do good. Yeah,
I do too. I was impressed that, uh for a while there
Wolf. There's an article I wrote on fan Battlesports dot com. If you
ain't ready, go read it. Um, but he went for like fourteen
and fourteen at the beginning of OTAs or something like that. There was a
good long period of time there that Trey Wolf they were trading off back forth.
I don't know why they were doing it that way, but they would
have one kicker for two or three days and they'd have another kicker for two
or three days. And Trey Wolf like nail every single kick he kicked at
OTAs for a long time, he did not miss and they never worry about
and we do. Yeah, that's kind of why I'm rooting for man Is
Man. I just I like kickers that can get in that groove and just
kind of just go with it, you know what I mean. But let's
see here, we also got um are we gonna leading injuries for three years
in a row? No, I don't think so I hope not. I
hope man. Uh And who's to blame if we do? And I've been
saying it the whole time, strength and conditioning coaches, I don't have good
I mean, if our players aren't in good condition, and we have the
highest rate injury of NFL players, there's a two years. One year is
could be a fluke, two years could be a fluke. But three years
in a row now for me once and then fol me twice. And if
you know anyways, send them to Indy, send them to Indy. Send
them all we can do. We can do what we did with the Jets.
Man the Jets and poor bastards. They picked up uh Todd Downing,
which is our offensive coordinator, as their pass game coordinator, which is hilarious.
And then like we didn't even have a passing game last year, y'all,
y'all, y'all have this man to be a passing game. And then
yeah, and then he was like, hey, I got an idea.
You know, our offensive line was banging in Tennessee last year, so I'm
gonna bring the offensive line coach with me. And we were like before year,
yeah, yeah, that's why when you said he was gonna get m
VP. I was like, man, are you sure he gonna be beat
up a lot? You know? Todd Downing was saying, oh, it
was a personnel problem. For me, it was a personnel problem. He
again, another great piece out there. I don't know. I'm sorry I
can't give you credit, but I don't know who wrote it. But there
is another great piece floating around out there that says that Todd Downing was actually
an agent of destruction, like he was. He came here and and sabotazes
on purpose. Yeah, yeah, exactly. They were like, this dude
is so statistically bad that he literally had to have almost been trying to comp
at his job. Yeah, and that's just that's just sad. Is that
why? Yeah? Probably that's why he got That makes that makes sense because
he had the best game in his career. He had the best game of
his career, then got drunk, So maybe he was depressed that this game
went so good and they actually played good, so he had to go get
ship faced drunk and that's he was like, fuck, he blew the funk
out of the Packers to day, I can't take this all right. And
the last one is uh, which he's right. The last one is is
the old line better? Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh heck yesunding,
yes, okay. First of all, Longest didn't daily gone We're better.
Longest didn't. Right here, Peter Strunsky, first, well, look at
that super fan super fan, I see I won that from the Titans.
That right there is exactly that right, there is exactly one of the reasons.
Man. You know again, if y'all missed the show last week,
go back and watch it. But I asked Cortland, you know, because
he has media access. I was like, man, there was a there
was a play because he kept talking up Jalen Duncan, and I was like,
man, there was this play that I watched over and over and over
again of Peter Spronsky like pancaking this dude. And I later found out that
it was Jaylen dun Yeah. I was like, oh my god, that
don't look good. And he was like, no, you just don't understand.
There are certain people. There are certain levels of difference in people.
He said, there are people, and then there are other things like Derrick
Henry is to a running back, Baron Donald is to us one left by.
Yeah, there are difference makers and That's what he was saying, is
that Peter Scronski is just a man you don't want to be standing in front
of when he comes off the line because he's right. Yeah, he said,
the man's neck look like a tree. Trump. I'm excited, man.
Yeah, the run left is back many high school. So why are
we talking about offensive line? I got a question for you, Yes,
sir, how would you how would you feel you know about that? You
know, and I'm pretty sure you're hip to the NPF suspension and all that,
so you know we're gonna have some rotation on the offensive line. How
would you feel if we brought back Taylor Lowan for a year and he took
veteran minimum and he'll come back and play offensive line? How would you feel
about that? I wouldn't hate it if he's ready to play, But you
know the way he looks now, he doesn't look like he wants to play
anymore. Look, man, he's having too much he's having he having too
much fun with the blessing with the boys. So yeah, yeah, I'll
be real. I'll be real here. Man. I don't I don't.
I don't you look at him. Yeah, he's he's a he's a show.
He's lost a lot of way he's doing. He's his best life right
now. Shout out to my boy TJ. He come in and say,
Titans receivers should be a Titans receivers should be a concerned Can they move the
ball down the field? With t J, I think we really all we
pretty much I all know that the Titans have a problem at receiver right now.
But hey, right now we got our fingers crossed with DeAndre Hopkins.
But uh, you know we're gonna see I mean, it's definitely a concern,
but it's not to the point where like we're like, you know,
doomed about it. I think our offense still can muster up enough offense to
move the ball down to field. We still got trailing trailing birds. We
still got Kyle Phillips. You know we got this. Uh, Chris Moore,
guy, Tigue is almost like yeah, Tigue is almost like yeah,
again, it's a concern, But you guys a big guys. Go to
fan battlesports dot com, go to the blogs and go to the Titans section,
and literally almost all these answers are in there. I've wrote stories about
almost everything you're talking about. Right now. We don't have a lot of
receivers, but we got a lot of pass catchers, sir. Yeah,
we got a lot of colding down as a rookie that you gotta watch out
for as a as a coach. When I look as at a play and
I see my offensive line, you know which has improved for sure. Then
I got Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill, who is still solid quarterback when he's
got a lot of targets. And then you got you know, Taj Spears
lined up or impact this year, Yes, that impact. Then we got
he's gonna break out backfield, yeah, everywhere. Yeah, he's gonna be
out here, absolutely right. He's gonna be like Debo, Yes, sir.
If if Kyle Phillips can stay healthy, that'd be great. But even
if Kyle Phillips stay healthy, we still got h Trey Lon Burkes, Uh,
Chris Moore who actually is a pretty good wife receiver. He's a good
listen. And then I heard, I heard, I heard even some Texas
fans saying, don't sleep on that guy. He's a pass catcher, he
runs great, he runs great routes. He could Hey, all we need
is somebody to kiss the ball, So don't sleep on Chris Moore Man.
And I'm telling you guys again, the Colden Dwale thing is real. I
know. I've know y'all say I have some kind of love affair with him
or something, and that's okay, it's all right. You know. I
have love affairs with certain players like Jeffrey Simmons. Hey, how'd that work
out? Yeah? Worked out? Yeah. I also had a love affair
with Derrick Henry. I kept yelling, Hey, we need to we need
to start Derrick Henry. We need to quit letting the select. Marco Murray
still running the ball. I don't care how good he's doing. Derrick Henry,
Man, Derrick Henry. Do you see dude standing next to him,
Derrick Henry. And then they finally let him on the field. And what
happened? Yeah it worked out? Yeah, first down, higher layers though
that there are certain players that come out that I'm not real high on,
and there are players that I am real high on that didn't work out.
But listen, I'm real. For I'm real. I'm pretty good at picking
out players. I'm real high on Caleb, I mean, hold on my
Caleb. Kyle Phillips I'm real high on Kyle Phillips, I'm real high on
TYJ. Spears, I'm real high on this coding Dowal got damn Nilo because
Max put it all in my ear. And but this Josh Wily guy,
This Josh Wily guy I watched. I watched the take on Josh way.
He should be he should be a nice pass catcher. So he's a big
guy and if he puts on a little bit of sneaky good, he needs
to put on a little bit of muscle. But he's got a lot of
talent. Dude is six foot seven. I think he's six seven, and
he has like forty two or forty seven in treach. Didall you have any
idea how tall that is? Do you have any idea how that is?
A quarterback can literally be thrown it into the stands and Josh Wallack jump up
and grab it. Oh yeah, that is amazing. Expects have about through
the two hundred and fifty receiving yards, but I expect Josh wall to have
That's but guess what, see people like that. People like that. That's
why, as t J said, that's why we're not too concerned. Now,
listen, we I mean, it's definitely a weakness of our team.
But just think about if we sign DeAndre Hoppings, how much that problem gets
fixed. You really think just starting him will change everything? I mean,
no, it solidifies our receivers, so it gives us. It gives us
two for sure people that we can throw the ball too with him, hang
on exactly. I will say this, if we signed DeAndre Hopkins, he
will do exactly what he said, and he will make the wide receivers on
our team's jobs easier. He can take some heat off of Trey Lonburg.
Think about this, all those options I was just talking about, now add
DeAndre Hopkins, who I mean, That's why I'm saying I'm having everything doesn't
make a huge difference. That makes us from a six to ten win team
two and eleven to thirteen win team. I'm loving every I'm loving everything we
did. We improved the offensive line. Tannehill can now sit in the pocket
and go through his progressions. And you look back that year Derrick Henry got
two thousand yards. A J. Brown had a thousand and Davis Corey Davis
was like sixteen yards from say we can't run the ball in pass, we
prof can we definitely. Yeah, yeah, so this has to hold it
together. He's talking about Peter Skronsky and this is this dude. This is
our local Homer Scoop. This is a Clarence Scoop Homer whatever. Uh,
this is the guy that I guess you call it trolls us, but he's
a Jaguars fan I think by his comments and uh yeah exactly. And he's
saying he's gonna go up against probe you know, yeah, okay, yeah,
you don't think Peter Scronsky ain't gonna just man handle those dudes. Yeah,
well he was. He listened. He is the first first round pick
for a reason. He's not gonna be afraid of them guys. That's no,
he's not gonna weird every Bible, but he's not gonna lose every boble.
No, no, no, exactly, like bro, you think he
ain't got nnis Daily standing next to him? No snack, we don't speak
his name around here. Listen, Claris, Dennis Daily is the reason that
you guys beat us last year from for that for that uh fake ass fumble
that they the ref call the fumble that was on Dennis Daddy. Body.
All right, we're gonna do one more good question here, because we got
a good one and then and uh dang it we got yeah, and then
we gotta wrap it up, all right, So uh yeah, y'all,
hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
He says, Hahaha, we'll see them guys be scared of no rookie.
Yeah, okay, all right, we'll see when you're getting pancakes. Hey,
Uh, Dixon here has a good question. What y'all gonna do against
Pitts Bird? Yeah, that means he is Steeler fan. He's definitely die
hard. Still right, all right, bro, let me tell you,
let me tell you what we're gonna do it. Yeah, I got first
of all, Yeah, he's right. Yeah, first of all, Scoob
and Flame were both right. We're gonna win that game. And the reason
being is because of our defense. Our defense is strong, and I think
as long as we're healthy, as long as we're healthy, yeah, we're
gonna. We're gonna. But yeah, yeah, y'all got a problem at
quarterback. That's why we honestly problem. Well, I got a good problem.
I mean, t J y'all got a decent team, but we on
paper, we're better than y'all though, bro, like we we gotta we
got a legit quarterback. We got legit why, I mean running back.
I don't believe in y'all quarterback. I'm not real. I mean, we
don't let you run the ball on it. So we're not worried about Naga
Harris just coming, just going crazy on it. And now we ain't drunk,
bro, We're just telling the truth. Everybody. Everybody's scared. No.
I mean, hey, yo, hey, I drink on occasion.
I do occasion. But y'all, if you want to come hang out and
yeah if y'all, if y'all beat us, I would gladly give y'all y'all
props. But and it's a prime time game. Mike Mike Rabel always have
